NOTES : The Pipers call this dish a "White creole" because it is not
thickened with the traditional mahogany-colored roux. Instead, a
mixture of chicken stock, tomato paste, and aromatic vegetables is
reduced until the sauce becomes quite thick and flavorful. It is
best to serve this shrimp creole with steamed white rice.
